Assessing ureteral patency using 10% dextrose cystoscopy fluid: evaluation of urinary tract infection rates.
(Am J Obstet Gynecol, 2016-07)BACKGROUND: Intravenous indigo carmine has routinely been used to confirm ureteral patency after urogynecologic surgery. Recent discontinuation of the dye has altered clinical practice. In the absence of indigo carmine, ... -
Contribution of urinary tract infection to the burden of febrile illnesses in young children in rural Kenya.
(PLoS One, 2017)INTRODUCTION: The clinical features of UTI in young children may not localize to the urinary tract and closely resemble other febrile illnesses. In malaria endemic areas, a child presenting with fever is often treated ... -
Escherichia coli global gene expression in urine from women with urinary tract infection.
(PLoS pathogens, 2010-11)Murine models of urinary tract infection (UTI) have provided substantial data identifying uropathogenic E. coli (UPEC) virulence factors and assessing their expression in vivo. However, it is unclear how gene expression ... -
Incidence of adverse events after uterosacral colpopexy for uterovaginal and posthysterectomy vault prolapse.
(Am J Obstet Gynecol, 2015-05)OBJECTIVE: We sought to describe perioperative and postoperative adverse events associated with uterosacral colpopexy, to describe the rate of recurrent pelvic organ prolapse (POP) associated with uterosacral colpopexy, ... -
Infections in Older Adults: A Case-Based Discussion Series Emphasizing Antibiotic Stewardship.
(MedEdPORTAL : the journal of teaching and learning resources, 2018-09-21)Introduction:Compared with younger populations, adults 65 years and older are more likely to suffer infection-related morbidity and mortality, experience antibiotic-related adverse events, and acquire multidrug-resistant ... -
OnabotulinumtoxinA vs Sacral Neuromodulation on Refractory Urgency Urinary Incontinence in Women: A Randomized Clinical Trial.
(JAMA, 2016-10-04)Importance: Women with refractory urgency urinary incontinence are treated with sacral neuromodulation and onabotulinumtoxinA with limited comparative information. Objective: To assess whether onabotulinumtoxinA is superior ... -
Pediatric-specific antimicrobial susceptibility data and empiric antibiotic selection.
(Pediatrics, 2012-09)OBJECTIVE: Duke University Health System (DUHS) generates annual antibiograms combining adult and pediatric data. We hypothesized significant susceptibility differences exist for pediatric isolates and that distributing ... -
Prevalence of renal anomalies after urinary tract infections in hospitalized infants less than 2 months of age.
(J Perinatol, 2010-04)OBJECTIVE: Our aim was to determine the incidence of anatomical abnormalities after a urinary tract infection (UTI) in infants <2 months of age hospitalized in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). STUDY DESIGN: This ... -
Sustained reduction in catheter-associated urinary tract infections using multi-faceted strategies led by champions: A quality improvement initiative.
(Infection control and hospital epidemiology, 2022-07)We reviewed the sustainability of a multifaceted intervention on catheter-associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI) in 3 intensive care units. During the 4-year postintervention period, we observed reductions in urine culture ... -
Using statistical process control charts to measure changes from a nurse-driven protocol to remove urinary catheters.
(American journal of infection control, 2022-12)<h4>Background</h4>Implementing a nurse-driven protocol (NDP) to remove indwelling urinary catheters is a strategy to reduce catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTI). The purpose of this project was to implement ...
